All were caused by someone not watching what they were doing and rammed me in the backend while I was stopped at a light or stop sign.

My car keeps getting hit in parking lots while I am inside a building, can't see the parking lot, and have no control over the situation.
Where I live (as in many places in the US outside of major cities) the public transportation system isn't that great, so most people have cars.
I prefer a stickshift. I feel more in control.
The only reason I can imagine wanting an automatic (barring any health issues that would require it) would be if I lived in a city where traffic was frequently gridlocked and you constantly have to stop and start. Fortunately I don't often have to drive in that kind of traffic.
